Nguyen Flops Trips, Chips Up

Kim Nguyen completed from the small blind, Scott Stanko checked his option in the big, and the flop came down {10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Nguyen led, Stanko raised, and Nguyen called.

Both players checked the {5-Clubs} on the turn, and after the {9-Clubs} fell on the river, Nguyen led out. Stanko called, and Nguyen instantly opened {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for trip tens. They were good, and she raked in the pot.

"I'm so bad at this game," she told her rail with a grin. "How do I not three-bet the flop?"
